Sobre
Fatos rápidos: A charming spectacle of moving mechanical sculptures, the fountain cycles through whimsical water and metal dances powered by a complex system of pumps. Named after an influential Swiss artist, the artwork humorously captures the energy and chaos of industrial machinery.
Destaques: Strong bursts of water animate scores of interlocking, rusty metal contraptions, creating a lively performance that feels part sculpture, part machine orchestra. A surprising 50 separate water jets sync with mechanical movements to bring this kinetic artwork to life in the city plaza.
Dicas de quem conhece

- Try capturing the motion with a slow shutter camera setting for unique photos.
- Best photo spots are closest to the metal sculptures where you can capture water sprays and movement.
